when i was in middle school, i attempted to read kafka's the trial. not realizing that it was quite possibly a little much for your average 13 year old, i plowed through about half of it before i gave up, not caring a whit about the main character.
i got the same feeling when i tried to read jenny erpenbeck"s visitation earlier this month. i read about 30 pages and then realized she hadn't gotten to the point yet. as the novel was only about 150 pages long, that's kind of a big oof and i returned it to the library.
but i did finish reading these books:
XVI julia karr – nina is about to turn 16, and turning 16 in the future is a very bad thing. being 16 means that you get to have sex, and you get to let everyone know that you get to have sex, by having the roman numeral XVI tattooed on the inside of your wrist. unfortunately, those in the lower tiers are often "assumed" to want to have sex more often. naturally, nina really doesn't want to be 16. despite repeated references and a sometimes foot-stomping toddler tantrum approach to being a "sexteen", as they're called, it's a thoroughly entertaining and engaging read.
galveston nic pizzolatto – roy cady has been screwed. diagnosed with a terminal lung disease, he figures out his boss wants to off him and he flees new orleans, taking 18 year old rocky with him. rocky, being completed messed up in the head, continually tries to come on to roy and finally gives up, and turns to prostitution to pay the bills. the story jumps back and forth between 1987 and present day, which confused the hell out of me at first. then i skipped ahead and flipped through the last few chapters and figured it out. that said, it was well written, but slightly boring.
a drink before the war dennis lehane – a gang war is about to break out on the streets of boston, and patrick kenzie, PI, and his partner, angie gennaro, are about to get in the middle of it. hired to find a missing cleaning woman by a couple of state politicians, the case goes from being a simple, cherchez la femme to a bloody violent mess, complete with explosions and car chases. kenzie is a smartass, and lehane has a lot of fun with his characters. while i do wish there'd been more about the gang war, i enjoyed this book so much i'll be picking up the rest of the novels about kenzie and gennaro (of which gone baby gone is one of them).
the october killings wessel ebersohn – in 1986, a raiding party killed a group of south african revolutionaries. 20 years later, a member of that party, leon, approaches the woman who's life he saved all those years ago, abigail. he fears someone may try to kill him on the anniversary of the raid, october 22. when it turns out that all the other members of the original party have been murdered, one by one, over the last 20 years, abigail thinks leon may be right. searching for the killer, though, could be tough, and she's running out of time. intriguing, and i love the setting, but i wish the pace were faster.

When you visit Japan, mainly big cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, your main transportation would be train incl. subway🚃💨
Of course we have public bus and taxi (incl. Uber), but I would like you to experience Japanese train, because I'm pretty sure that our train system is the most amazing in the world😎✨✨ You can't imagine how well-organized it is…
1⃣ Always on time🕐
Every Japanese train company has the exact schedules in the seconds.. not minutes! If train is late even 1min because of rush hour or any other reasons, you will hear the train announce of sincere apology🙇
2⃣ Amazingly clean✨
I know some of our trains/stations are old.. but you can't imagine how clean they are, especially with comparison to the subway in Manhattan😂 No trashes in trains, comfortable seats like sofa in trains, and decent and clean restrooms at almost all stations..🚻✨
3⃣ Convenient to use – "SUICA card"💳
"SUICA card"is a pre-paid e-money card (a kind of debit card) for public transportation and shopping everywhere👛 The initial deposit fee is 500yen (which will return after your use) and it is rechargeable! You just swipe this card over the front of the gate when you enter and exit the area leading to the train tracks, and it will save you a lot of time because the train fee is deducted automatically⌚✨ In Tokyo we have PASMO card as well as SUICA card, while in Osaka people use ICOCA cards. You can get either of these cards easily at a vending machine at train stations, with the instructions in English!✨✨
For detail information such as how to get Suica card and how to use it, please check out the official website!
Not only for tourists, but also for local people in big cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, main transportation is train (incl. subway)🚃; people usually don't use a car for their commute. So for us, maintaining good train services are necessary for our comfortable living💕
One hard thing might be its complexity😱💦 Almost all stations have subway maps in English (and maybe in other languages), but you might lose your way even with your map🗺.. Please use Google map to find your way if possible, or ask people by using the Japanese phrases below!!!
🇯🇵 Sumimasen (すみません)
🇺🇸 Excuse me
🇯🇵 Koko ni Ikitai desu (ここに行きたいです)
🇺🇸 I wanna go here.
🇯🇵 Tokyo-eki ni Ikitai desu (東京駅に行きたいです)
🇺🇸 I wanna go to Tokyo station.
🇯🇵 Dou-yatte koko ni Ike masu ka? (どうやってここに行けますか?)
🇺🇸 How can I get there?
Hope these information helps your travel comfortable! Please contact me or leave comments if you still have any concerns for Japanese transportation!

A recent report on the state of franchising in Brazil provided by Mercado &
Consumo includes a number of key statistics and indicates that the franchise
industry in Brazil is dynamic.
The franchise sector grew 16.9% in 2011, reaching a turnover of 52 billion
dollars. According to Ricardo Camargo, executive director of the Brazilian
Franchising Association (ABF), the number presented by the institution this
morning is higher than expected. "We were expecting an increase of 15%. It is a
very strong growth, but we are sure that we still have much room to grow," he
said at a news conference.
According to a survey of the ABF, the number of brands grew 9.5% compared to
2010. Currently there are 2,031 companies offering franchises in the market. For
Camargo, the increase in micro-franchises propelled this movement. The number of
retail stores had a lower growth year. In 2011, the number of units increased
7.8%, while in 2010 the growth was 8%. The micro-franchise - networks with an
initial investment of up to 30 thousand dollars - represent 17% of the total
marks and 3.7 billion dollars, equivalent to 4% of the total turnover of the
franchising industry, reaching 336 units versus 213 in 2010.
For Camargo, the increase in the value of key-money or rent invalidates new
businesses. The association blames the real estate market. "Franchise just does
not grow more, because there is a difficulty of finding commercial locations.
There was an excessive real estate appreciation," he explains.
The hotel industry and tourism sector had record growth with an 85.8% boost in
sales. Next sector is furniture, decoration and gifts (35%); sports, health,
beauty and leisure (24.3%), and business services (14.9%) and food (14.5%). The
sector that was less favored in the past year was photography and graphics,
which grew only 5.9%.
As for the distribution of the units, the Southeast continues to harbor the
largest number of stores, with 57.6%. The highlight is the Northeast that has
15.6% of franchises opened in the country, against 14.1% of the South. The state
of São Paulo continues ahead with 51.1% headquarters of franchising networks,
followed by the states of Rio de Janeiro (12.7%), Paraná (8.2%) and Minas Gerais
(5.8%). Excluded from the data are product format franchises for example, gas
stations and soft drink companies.

I say it every time, I know. I really don't want to make this blog about parenting or mothering but occasionally the topic just comes up. I guess I am reluctant to talk too much about it, just in case I bore you!
The past few months have been so busy in our household. The little man has been experiencing what seems like constant illness and that combined with shift work, motherhood and contributing to the running of our household, is fast becoming too hard. I so wanted to seem like the super mum who could work 5 days a fortnight (mostly night shifts - 10 hours nights shifts mind you!), capably care for her family and have a neat, tidy, organised home, but I am not. No, unfortunately I am not a robot. It would seem that working and caring for a one year old, at least for me, is not quite that easy after all. I have felt like time is just passing us by. The little man is growing up before our very eyes. I can't believe it is nearly June! Seriously, how did that happen?
So, after much deliberation and a few tears, I have decided to reduce my shifts to two shifts per week and I am also pulling the little man out of childcare. Fingers crossed this will all come together in a month or so. I figure we can try childcare again next year and in the meantime, the little man's immune system can take a break from overdrive. It is time to get my little family back on track! Some decisions as a parent are so difficult and I have struggled with this one, but hopefully this decision will provide us with the opportunity to regroup and be as well as possible for the remainder of the year.
Here is a photo taken of us in the early days. This shot was taken by my brother, Tom. He is quite the talented photographer don't you think?
I love this photo for obvious reasons - even if it does accentuate my big nose! Look at my beautiful little boy - good enough to eat he is!
I have been thinking that it may be time to re-immerse myself in some of Sarah Napthali's books.
I have found her books so helpful in the past, especially when I have felt like

A former longtime Orleans Parish Criminal District Court Clerk's Office employee pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to her role in an illegal bail-bonding scheme that has implicated nearly a dozen people, including former bondsman Rufus Johnson.
Patricia Tate, a deputy clerk who resigned in August, faces up to five years behind bars after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit "honest services" mail fraud. She will be sentenced March 11 by U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan.
Tate, 50, of New Orleans, admitted soliciting and accepting cash — between $350 and $500 over a three-year period — in exchange for helping Johnson continue to conduct business even though he no longer had a bail-bonding license. Her assistance went beyond her normal work duties, court documents show, including running lists of criminal defendants for Johnson and obtaining information on arrest statuses and warrants.
"This information was valuable to commercial bail bondsmen who were seeking to post bail bonds for inmates and to address bond forfeitures," prosecutors said in court documents.
Tate delivered bail bonds to Johnson at his Broad Street office "that had been typed and signed by a bond clerk without having been signed" by a bondsman, according to court documents. This circumvented requirements intended to prevent unlicensed bondsmen from committing fraud.
Tate also would bring Johnson copies of court records without charging the fees otherwise assessed by the Clerk's Office, according to prosecutors.
Tate is among 11 people accused in an illegal bail-bonding scheme dating back to 2003 that funneled kickbacks to deputy clerks.
Several defendants already have pleaded guilty, including Gilishia Garrison, who worked for Court Clerk Arthur Morrell and Sheriff Marlin Gusman when she took bribes to access court computers and forge recognizance bonds — allegedly at the request of Johnson, former bondsman Perry Becnel and others.
A grand jury on Oct. 31 indicted Becnel along with Johnson, his son James Johnson and a former employee of Johnson's business, Josephine Spellman, in a 10-count conspiracy. Johnson, who once held a bondsman's license, has run for public office several times in New Orleans.

Yoka Rafalakhi recipe, a savory and very hot dish from Guinea in West Africa.
Yoka Rafalakhi recipe, a savory and very hot dish from Guinea in West Africa.
This simple recipe shows how to make biwogo or fried cassava (manioc, tapioca, yuca).
This salad is inspired by something that was not even perceived as a salad, that used to be made by some students of King's college, Budo (Uganda). It basically consisted of steamed cassava mixed with sardines or mackerels, the ingredients most readily available, then. In this case, we shall "raise standards" a bit by including some other ingredients.
So after techrina (in some connected forum) requested for this recipe, it was decided something had to be done. I know someone who cooks this now and then & so I combined what I saw her do with what I know about preparing potato au gratin to come up with this. Cassava is widely eaten in Africa, being prepared in different ways and so I thought doing it a little differently would not be bad at all. Gratin is otherwise not an African dish.

Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Jay Y. Lee fought back tears and denied wrongdoing on Monday as prosecutors sought a 12-year jail term on charges that include bribing the former president to help cement control of the South Korean tech giant.
Lee, the de facto leader of one of Asia's largest conglomerates, has been in detention since February on trial for charges ranging from embezzlement to perjury, in a scandal that gripped the country for months and led to the ouster of former president Park Geun-hye.
He will face the longest prison term on record for a South Korean conglomerate executive if the court finds him guilty when it makes a ruling Aug. 25, two days before Lee's current period of detention ends.
Other charges he faces include wrongfully transferring assets overseas and hiding the proceeds of a crime.
"I have never asked anyone, including the president, for anything for the company or my personal gain," said Lee in a final statement, his voice wavering. He stopped several times during his speech, holding back tears.
Police raid office of Samsung family homes over decorating expenses
"I deeply regret that I have given such disappointment and apologize," he said.
Samsung Electronics offered no comment regarding the prosecutors' demand. The company's shares ended down 0.3 percent on Monday, erasing minimal gains seen early in the session.
The prosecution has said Samsung's intent in paying up for two funds backed by Park, and sponsoring the equestrian career of the daughter of a confidante at the center of the scandal, was to get government support for efforts to cement Lee's control of the smartphones-to-biopharmaceuticals empire.
"Even though Lee is the ultimate receiver of the gains (from this bribery case), he has been pushing the blame on others accused," prosecutor Park Young-soo told the court.
The defense reiterated Lee's denial of wrongdoing, questioning whether the prosecution was relying on public sentiment to secure a prison term for Lee, 49, whose father, the group patriarch Lee Kun-hee, was hospitalized in 2014.

What is your empathy IQ? How did it get there? Why is empathy identified as a critical factor in high-performing individuals?
The Sustained Dialogue Campus Network, with funding from the Fetzer Institute, invited individuals to describe their experiences with empathy, and Huffington Post joined the effort by posting the winners of the inaugural Empathy Essay Contest. We are privileged that two members of the Fetzer Advisory Councils, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Elena Cox, were willing to respond to the essay prompts and winners. Jackie Joyner-Kersee is considered by many to be the single greatest female athlete of our lifetime. Elena Cox has worked with a cadre of celebrated athletes and social entrepreneurs to "decode" the DNA of empathy in sport and social impact.
Join the conversation on Twitter and Facebook .
Jackie Joyner-Kersee provides the first in a 5-part series introducing the winners of The Fetzer Institute -- Sustained Dialogue Empathy Essay Contest.
In the winning Empathy Essays appearing here during the next few days, you will read stories where an individual, often in an unplanned moment, clears the hurdle of escalating conflict to reach new momentum in their understanding of others. I cannot begin to compete with their eloquence, so instead I will offer reflections on "empathy" as a process and a skill.
According to Hal Saunders, founder of the International Institute for Sustained Dialogue, "Dialogue is a process of genuine interaction through which human beings listen to each other deeply enough to be changed by what they learn...."
Hal's definition of dialogue as a genuine human interaction reflects one of my strongest core values. I am deeply committed to being open-minded about others' viewpoints and it is a lesson that every single one of my coaches treated as an imperative for success. My legacy as a person will be reflected in my capacity to pass this on to the next generation, especially here in East St. Louis, where my work brings me close to high-school girls competing in track and in life.
An important early lesson for me was realizing that the art of listening applies equally to self and others. Even as I developed my voice, and gave it more and more volume, I also had to accept that my greatest responsibility is to listen to that voice and force it to be louder than the noise around me.
This hasn't been as simple as it sounds. Just as my determination shaped my success on the track, developing my voice required serious practice: seeking real feedback, watching others, pushing my limits, and asking questions. Finding my stride in dialogue required placing myself in spaces where people both agreed and disagreed with me. In the end, I have learned that empathy may not be a natural reflex for each of us, but it can be developed and nurtured over a lifetime. Learning to flex my empathy muscle made me stronger. It helped shape me into a leader who listens.
I have a voice. I know what it feels like to be the subject of racism and discrimination and to have your spirit beat down. I have had to watch the spirits of those I love and admire crushed. Each time, I heard the inner voice that helps each of us deal with it all, that tells us to push forward and remember that we have more in us to give, to feed from the desire to win and persevere. That inner voice blocks out all others. And, it is the same voice that helps me be truly present and open to hearing others, even those I most disagree with, without losing myself, or feeling threatened by differences.
As you'll see in the upcoming essays, empathy creates allies from unusual suspects. I challenge you to hold this as a mandate, especially if you want to surround yourself with winners who strive for new and greater challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Okay. You've got questions.
And I've probably got some answers.
You could catch me at one of the Meetups I frequent, or maybe find me at a conference or workshop, but let's be practical.
Most days, I'm at home, working from my laptop and hanging out with Buford.
So, instead of emailing me and waiting weeks for a response – and it does take weeks since I don't answer emails often – check the FAQs on this page first.
Frequently Asked Questions
To make it easier to find the answers you want, these FAQs are divided into 3 categories.
Getting Started includes questions that are commonly asked during the first year of blogging, including the time before actually starting your blog.
The Money section covers – you guessed it – money questions. If you're wondering about monetization, budgeting for your blog, or freelancing rates, check this section.
Kitty Questions deal primarily with getting in touch with Kitty for the most common requests.
If you don't see your question in any of these 3 sections, you might try searching the blog to see if there's a post covering that subject. Use the search box in the upper right-hand corner.
And if, after all that, you still haven't found your answer…
You can use this contact form to get in touch.
Just remember what I said about taking a long time to respond to emails. I meant that.
Getting Started
Q: I'm serious about starting a blog-based business, but I have no idea where to start. What should I do?
A: [expand]First of all, congratulations on your decision! The first thing you should do when preparing to start any business venture, including a blog from which you intend to profit, is to write a business plan. This website offers training to help you write your business plan [coming soon] but you can also use this free resource from the Small Business Association to get started. A business plan isn't written in a day, either – really dig into the research and get started on a good foundation.

Q: Can I really be a career blogger? How does that work?
A: [expand]Yes, you can be a career blogger, but only if you're willing to keep your expectations realistic and put in a lot of work to build a good foundation. Professional bloggers make income from a lot of different sources, and your strategy will be unique to you. If you want to go pro in the blogging space, you can opt for a mostly freelance career and make a living by blogging for other people, or you can start a blog-based business to make money from your own website. You can use a combination of the two, but as both are rather time-consuming, your focus should be primarily one or the other.
The advantage of freelancing is that you can make money relatively quickly if you're good at getting clients. The downside is that your income is limited by the number of clients you keep, the amount of work you can do for them, and the rates you can command.
Making money from your own website has a much higher income potential, but also a much more advanced skillset. It takes a long time (usually at least 1 full year) to make any real profit from your website, and monetization strategy can be tricky.

Q: What should I blog about?
A: [expand]There are a lot of blogs out there, and a lot of blog topics. This is one of those questions with no definitive answer, but I can give you some guidelines to point you in the right direction.
If this is a blog for profit, you'll refine your topic quite a bit when you do the market testing in your business plan. In order to make money, there needs to be an audience. If your blog is a hobby or not for profit, then the topic doesn't matter nearly as much because you don't need people to read it.
Let's assume you're blogging for profit. Your topic should be something you know a lot about or enjoy learning about, because you're going to be thinking about it a lot. Sometimes, your passions make for great blog material, but be careful not to go too broad. A good blog is about a specific, clear, easily understood topic or idea that can be identified after reading no more than 2 blog posts. If someone has to read 5 or 6 posts to understand your central theme, you've gone too broad and you're going to lose readership.
Luckily, during your first 6 months of blogging, you're going to suck at it and nobody's reading your stuff anyway, so you have some time to experiment and refine your topic.

Blogging About Yourself[/expand]
Q: How do I get traffic to come to my website?
A: [expand]This question has a lot of answers, but we'll try to keep it simple for now. Traffic can be divided into 2 basic categories: organic (free), and paid. Organic traffic comes from people finding your blog posts from social media shares, clicking on search engine results, coming directly to your website, and other 'lucky' types of traffic. Paid traffic comes from ads, pay-per-click results on sites like Google, promoted social media posts, etc. Since most of you are probably looking for organic traffic, let's talk about that.
SEO, search engine optimization, is a technique that makes your website easier to find in Google. There are tons of myths about SEO, such as "I'll pay this guy to SEO my site and I'm done." Good SEO is a habit, a skill built over time, and you can't just outsource it once and expect good results forever. If you want to start learning about SEO, the guys at NeonBrand are incredible and they offer several fantastic services if you want to outsource some of the work.
The next best way to get traffic on your website is by going out there and being a human. Network. Talk to people. Book speaking engagements. Offer in-person workshops through Meetup. Running a website business is exactly the same as running a physical business, so don't expect you're just going to put up a website, share a link on Facebook, and rake in the money. It takes a long time and a consistent smart effort to build an audience, and if you're not in it for the long haul, you should probably keep your job.

Q: How long does it take to start making money?
A: [expand]Depending on your monetization strategy and your skill level, the answer to this question could be anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Here's what you really need to know: building an audience takes a long time. Building your credibility takes a long time. Building any business correctly takes a long time. As a general rule, freelancing is the fastest way to start making money, but you probably won't make any consistent income for at least 6 months, probably longer. I've never seen anyone make a living wage earlier than 6 months, and I've never seen anyone make a living wage consistently before they'd been at it for a full year. Be prepared to spend a long time learning, growing, and building your foundation.

Q: I've never blogged before, but I'm a good writer and I want to start a freelance blogging career. How do I get my first freelance clients?
A: [expand]Start by creating your own blog so that you have a portfolio and can show writing samples to your potential clients. If you're going to sell your blogging skills, you should actually have blogging skills. You can start with a free blog on WordPress.com (I'm a WP fan so I can't recommend any of the other platforms from personal experience) and center your posts around a single topic you want to eventually get paid to write about. You might consider writing about something you'd like to get for free – if you start a book blog, for example, lots of authors will be willing to give you free books.
In addition to your main blog, you can use LinkedIn's blogging tool to write posts on an alternate subject, such as lessons learned in your former career. Those posts will probably not have as wide a readership as your main blog, but they can attract clients and you can use them as alternative writing samples to prove you can write about multiple topics.
When I started freelancing, I made the mistake of including too many topics on my personal blog, which turned off readers and confused potential clients. I thought I should have a variety of post topics to prove my flexibility, but it actually hurt my business, so learn from my mistake and choose one topic only.

Q: I'm really passionate about food, self development, pets, and high-end sports cars. How do I organize all of that into one blog?
A: [expand]If your blog is just a hobby and it doesn't matter who reads it, go for it. Write anything you want, any time you want, and don't worry about attracting readers…because you probably won't.
If you're planning to blog for profit, you'll need to write a blog that people want to read. No blog is ever going to appeal to everybody, and if you try to talk about lots of things to attract the most possible people, you're only going to repel most people instead. It's better to write about 1 thing that a few people are passionate about (yourself included) than it is to write about a bunch of things for which your audience might or might not have some mild interest.

So You Want to Start a Blog[/expand]
Q: Okay, be honest. Is blogging success really a matter of skill? How much does luck have to do with it?
A: [expand]Here's the thing about luck: it definitely plays a part in all success, but you have to put yourself in a position to be lucky. There's loads of luck out there in the world. If you never start a blog, you can never get that lucky break where the right person shares your post and suddenly millions of people know who you are.
The skill part is non-negotiable, and you have control over that, so get started on building your skills right away. You can't really force luck, even if you can help it along by putting yourself in its way, so don't worry too much about how luck is going to affect your success. If you keep blogging regularly, keep networking with people, and keep pushing your own boundaries, you will have a few lucky breaks.[/expand]
Q: How do I use social media for marketing and promotion?
A: [expand]It might help if you stop thinking of social media as something new and different. It's just media. Advertising on social media is exactly the same as advertising on any other form of media. Sure, the platforms all have different rules, and people are in a different mindset on Twitter than they are on Facebook…but step 1 of any successful marketing campaign is to know your audience. Every good marketing campaign starts with research and planning, so it's ridiculous to think that Facebook is going to be your magic bullet where you put up a post and your business skyrockets.
Make sure your business has a page or presence on social media sites where your community can reach you. It should be separate from your personal stuff (I recommend not having personal accounts at all if you can help it) and it must be completely branded. Personal opinions do not belong on your business page. Brand opinions do.
If you really want to market on social media, use the paid marketing options. Just like every other kind of media and marketing plan, it takes thought, effort, and long-term execution to see success, so set aside a reasonable budget for the return you want to get and do your homework. Hire someone if you know absolutely nothing about marketing (hire a marketer, not a "social media expert") or take the time to learn copywriting.

Q: How do I know if my blog is good?
A: [expand]If you've been blogging for 6 months or less, it's not. Sorry if that sounds mean. It's true.
It can be difficult to accurately judge your own work, especially when you're new in the blogging world, so here's my recommendation: read a lot of blogs. Read good blogs. Read blogs that you can hardly wait a week for the new content to come out because you've already gone through all of their archives and devoured the old posts. The more great blogs you read, the more you'll get an idea of the style and content that appeals to you (and probably to people like you) and your writing will get better. After a while, you'll be confident that your own blog is up to par, and you'll start getting unsolicited comments from readers, social media followers, and friends who are finally starting to read your stuff.

Q: I own a business and I've been told that blogging is THE marketing strategy nowadays. How important is it, really, to have a blog for my business?
A: [expand]If you're going to start a blog just because it sounds good, and you're not really planning to put time, money, and/or effort into the venture, then blogging as a marketing strategy is pointless. That's like taking out an ad in the paper but asking your 8-year-old nephew to write it for you because you're too busy to do it properly. Unless you take it seriously, you're not going to get results.
That being said, blogs now are like websites in the late 90s. Everyone seems to have one, and some companies are finally catching on and doing them right. Those companies are reaping huge benefits, and you could be, too. In a few years, if you don't have a blog, you're going to look as out of touch as people who still have landline phones and AOL email addresses.
Blogs are the hub of a media strategy, and your other media outlets are the spokes. Your Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, print ads, podcasts, YouTube channels, etc. all point back to your blog, because your blog gives people a reason to keep coming back to your website. It becomes one of their homes on the web, and when you become part of someone's browsing routine, you're in one heck of a good position.

Q: How do bloggers make money?
A: [expand]There are quite a few ways bloggers make an income, and those of us who blog as our full-time profession nearly always make money from multiple sources. In a nutshell, money is made by selling things – either your own products/services or someone else's through affiliate links – 'renting' your traffic's attention by allowing other people to advertise on your site, or freelancing, which is really just selling your service. Those three basic methods can take a lot of different forms, such as selling memberships or publishing e-books, but whenever money is changing hands, it always boils down to sales somewhere along the line. That's what the economy is all about, right?
If you're planning on starting a blog for profit, do yourself a favor and write a business plan first. There are a lot of myths and misunderstandings about blog monetization out there, and a couple of Google searches isn't enough to stake your career on.

Passive Income Rules[/expand]
Q: How much money can I really make as a pro blogger?
A: [expand]Basically as much as you want, but you'll have to plan accordingly.
Professional blogging is the same as any other business. If you were to start a pool supply store, you might make just enough money to get by, or you might expand and sell franchises to become a multimillionaire. In both cases, it's the same business, but the method is vastly different.
You can make a significant income as a professional blogger, but you're not going to do it just by blogging about funny cat videos and putting Google Adsense on your site. As long as you're making money by advertising other people's businesses to your audience, you're going to make a tiny percentage of their money.
Before you get too excited about getting rich off of your blog, write a business plan and fully test your concept. Building your credibility, your audience, and your product takes a long time, so be prepared for a long-term commitment and don't stop at 1 strategy. Training is available on this site if you're serious about launching a blog-based business. [Coming soon.]

Q: I've just started freelancing and everyone wants me to name my rates. What should I charge?
A: [expand]What are you worth? Freelancer rates vary drastically depending on the type of work, the desired outcome, and the individual freelancer. When I first started freelancing, I was making between $25 and $50 per blog post I wrote for a client. Now, I make from $100 to $500 per blog post if I choose to take a client, and my fees are rarely in the low end of that range.
To determine a fair rate, there are 3 questions you should answer:
- How much is my time worth?
- How much is this job worth?
- How much is this client worth?
If the job is going to take a long time, your rate should be higher – but if the job itself is just filler content, where the client is not going to get any kind of monetary return from publishing your work, they're not going to pay a premium for it. Not every client is created equal, either. Business owners or employees who don't understand marketing, and who have no idea how to effectively employ a content marketing strategy, are a nightmare to work with and will rarely pay you what you're worth. It's up to you to judge the value of your work and charge accordingly, and remember that a bad client is never worth the money.

My Freelancing Horror Story[/expand]
Q: Are you making money blogging just by teaching people how to make money blogging? Isn't that a little shady?
A: [expand]I totally get what you're saying. It's kind of like those business gurus who have never run a successful business until they started teaching about running a successful business, right?
Here's the thing: this blog didn't start out as a teaching blog. I grew up working in my family's business, and I've always had some kind of side hustle to make money. When I started blogging in late 2013, KittyLusby.com was a book blog. I moved into freelancing in early 2014 and quickly made that a full-time career.
After helping businesses in a variety of industries use blogs as powerful marketing and branding tools, I started getting invitations to speak and teach at blogging, networking, and business training events. My blog started getting lots of traffic from people who heard me speak and Googled me looking for more advice…only, they weren't finding blogging advice. They were finding book recommendations.
In Spring of 2016, I rebranded KittyLusby.com and started providing content that people were actually looking for, and the more time I've focused on teaching, the more I've realized that there's a TON of misinformation out there. People are getting shady advice, and some 'marketers' are ripping people off by promising you're going to get rich if only you'll market their products for them…and that's not cool. The blogging industry is incredible, and if more people have access to honest, practical information, it's only going to get better.
I keep speaking, training, and offering information on KittyLusby.com because I want more people to succeed. See, I'm out to change the world. I believe that the more people take responsibility for their own livelihoods, the more responsible and proactive the world's citizenship will be. I envision a world full of people who don't depend on employers or governments to survive, who make decisions based on their own priorities instead of their bosses', and who have to do good because their livelihood depends on them running an honorable business instead of participating in backstabbing corporate politics. It's one hell of a dream, but in my own small way, I'm helping edge us towards that kind of economy, and that's really cool.[/expand]
Q: What sort of obstacles will I face when I start my own blog-based business?
A: [expand]The short answer is this: I don't know.
Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and everyone has their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Use your advantages and capitalize on your strengths, but don't expect anything to be easy.
I can't tell you exactly the challenges you'll face, but I can share some of the more common obstacles and adversities so that you can, at least mentally, prepare yourself.
In any business venture, you're going to face negativity from the people around you. Especially on the internet, it's easy for friends and strangers alike to criticize, insult, and belittle you and your endeavors. Dealing with negative feedback is an important skill.
One of the hardest things to accept is that your friends, who you think will support you and want you to succeed, usually do more to hold you back than to support you. Don't expect your friends and family to cheer you on – as soon as you start gaining notoriety and success, lots of the people closest to you will turn nasty, and some of them will be downright brutal.
Success is also going to take longer than you think, and it's going to require you to do things that are scary or uncomfortable. Learn to talk to strangers. Get over your fear of public speaking. Take some sales training. This isn't going to be smooth sailing the whole time.
You might also run into regulatory changes in your industry, tax issues, customer complaints, lawsuits, and sudden drastic changes in the way people use the internet. This industry changes fast, and you'll either learn to change with it or get left behind.

Q: What the heck is copywriting and how does it relate to blogging?
A: [expand]In it's simplest form, copywriting is any writing that is designed to inspire some kind of action, usually a sale. The text itself is called "copy" – thus the term copywriting. Junk mail, online dating profiles, and website product descriptions are all copy…though they're not always good copy.
For most bloggers, your content is designed to produce some kind of result, too. Thus, your blog posts are copy. You're probably not selling things directly in your blog posts, though some people try to, but you do want people to read more of your stuff, sign up for your email list, or take your online training. Learning how to write great copy will relate exactly to writing great blog posts, and if you're freelancing, you'll be able to charge much more for your work.

Q: I've been blogging consistently and following all of your advice for a few months now, and my traffic still sucks. I haven't made any money and nobody shares my posts on social media. WTF?!
A: [expand]If you've been following all of my advice, you'll no doubt recall that all new bloggers suck for at least 6 months, and it usually takes a full year of consistent, smart effort to get real traction on your blog. Blogging is a skill, and just like learning a musical instrument or a new language, it takes time to get proficient. Then, it takes even more time to get good. Mastery takes even longer. I played violin for 8 years and got pretty good, but never fully mastered the skill. Don't expect blogging to be different.

Self Employment Survival Guide[/expand]
Q: How much does it cost to hire a professional blogger?
A: [expand]That depends on what you want to get out of your blog. If you just want to post filler content, don't have clear brand standards, and you're not expecting much of a monetary return on your blog content, you can find bloggers through job boards (or even Craigslist) for as little as $15-$20 per post.
Great bloggers cost more. Expertise has a price.
Average content usually costs about $50 per post, and you can reasonably expect that content to be entertaining and have some search engine optimization done, but for $50, you're rarely going to get out-of-this-world posts.
If you need bloggers with specific industry expertise, marketing experience, stellar SEO habits, and the ability to establish you as an industry leader or increase your marketing conversions, expect to pay at least $150 per post. Bloggers at this level also usually have some other complementary skills or knowledge, such as social media marketing experience or mad copywriting skills. They might make branding suggestions, run your social accounts, write landing pages for you, or spearhead direct mail campaigns to mirror your blog strategy.
Blogging is marketing. Budget accordingly.

Q: How much should I spend advertising and sending traffic to my website? Is paid traffic really necessary?
A: [expand]Every investment in your blog should be measured. Paid traffic can be tricky, so let's look at a few different scenarios.
The easiest situation to rule out first is this: if you don't have any clear, measurable way to make money from your website traffic, then don't pay to send people to your site. You won't gain anything by buying traffic.
Let's assume that you are monetizing your website, then. There's a definite advantage to boosted traffic numbers, but not all traffic is created equal. You might have lots of visitors, but if none of those clicks are converting to sales, what's the point?
Here's how you determine whether paid traffic is worth the money:
Add only one traffic source at a time. Keep track of how much you've spent AND how much you've made in profit as a result of that spending. The actual number of visitors doesn't matter. If you make more than you spend and you're confident that the return is worth the investment, keep paying for that traffic. If you spend more than you make, stop paying for the traffic. Lather, rinse, and repeat with a new traffic source.
Of course, that's a fairly simplified formula, since you might decide to tweak your advertising, website copy, or ad targeting before you drop a source, but use your judgement to decide whether it's worth it. StumbleUpon is notorious for sending huge traffic numbers to a website, and also for that traffic to have abysmal conversions and huge bounce rates, so if you find that you're spending money there and getting 0 return, just drop it.

Kitty Questions
Q: Will you speak at my conference, event, or chamber of commerce meeting?
A: [expand]Probably. Send me a message here with the date, time, and details, and we'll discuss it.[/expand]
Q: Will you write a guest post for my blog?
A: [expand]It's a possibility, but that depends on my schedule, what you're looking for, and what kind of blog you have. Use this contact form to get in touch, and make sure you give me specific information. I'll want a link to your blog, some background about you and your company, and specifically what you want me to write about.[/expand]
Q: Can I guest post on your blog?
A: [expand]If you've got something to say that can really benefit KittyLusby.com readers, I definitely want to know about it. Send me your pitch here, and make sure you give me enough information about you and your idea that I can say 'yes.' Incomplete information is an automatic 'no.' Also, keep in mind that I don't buy content for this blog, so I'm not looking for freelancers. If you want to guest post here, it's an unpaid gig, so if you want to sell your work, you should probably browse something like the ProBlogger job board for potential clients instead.[/expand]
Q: Will you be my mentor?
A: [expand]I'll be your virtual mentor through this blog, definitely! There's lots of free content and advice here already to get you started, and you can probably find me at a conference, meetup, or workshop if you're looking for a more hands-on experience.
One-on-one mentorship isn't something I offer right now. It's nothing personal. I'm just not a consultant.[/expand]
Q: I'm really interested in what you do. Can I buy you a coffee and pick your brain?
A: [expand]The short answer is: no.
Sorry, guys. I get this exact request a few times a week at the very least, and here's the thing – I offer tons of free education already, and if you want me to meet you for coffee so that you can get more free education, that's a lot of time taken away from running my business. It's just not practical.
If you have a specific question that you've already tried to answer on your own, and you're willing to wait a few weeks for me to get back to you, go ahead and send me a message. I might respond with a link to a blog post that answers that question, or I might refer you to someone else who knows the answer, but I'll attempt to get you pointed in the right direction once I finally get around to reading your email.
If you're just looking to soak up some general knowledge, but you're not quite sure what questions to ask, start reading blog posts and go from there. If you're planning on launching your own blog-based business and you want help building the foundation, there's an online training course for that. [Coming soon.] Take advantage of any one of the resources I already offer, and I'll think of you while I drink my coffee tomorrow morning.[/expand]
Q: I looked at this FAQ page and I still have questions. How can I get answers?
A: [expand]The blog is stuffed with answers, so you can try searching for keywords related to your question there. Finding a related blog post is much faster than emailing me. You can also ask follow-up questions in the comments of posts, and I'll reply publicly…and probably faster than I'd answer your email.
If you've checked these FAQ, searched in the blog, and you still don't have the answers you're looking for, send me a message here. I'll try to get you pointed in the right direction.[/expand]

Perspectives on a Changing Texas
Giving News
A New Department Points the Way for the Nation
As the first of its kind in the United States, UT's newest academic department — up and running since fall 2014 — is also the first to directly address a new social reality: the growing influence of Mexican American and Latino populations nationwide.
In Texas and elsewhere, students classified as Hispanic are enrolling in college in greater numbers than non-Hispanic white students. With an eye on this evolving demography, the new Department of Mexican American and Latina/o Studies aims to produce scholars to research and analyze the life, history, and culture of Mexican-origin and Latino populations.
Offering degree tracks in cultural studies, policy, and other areas, the department builds on the foundation of UT's Center for Mexican American Studies, established in 1970.
"The integration of Latina/Latino Studies into an already stellar Mexican American Studies academic curriculum is designed to prepare students to be Latino-serving professionals in a nation with vastly shifting demographics," says inaugural department chair Nicole M. Guidotti-Hernández.
Faculty and students in the department are working to enhance understanding of the cultural, educational, political, and social dimensions of the Latino experience. It is expected that graduates will go on to careers in the nonprofit, education, social service, governmental, and academic sectors. Currently, 30 students major in Mexican American Studies. UT hopes to increase that number to 50 or more this year.
Jonathan Cortez, a native of Robstown in South Texas, will be among the department's first graduates when he earns his BA in sociology and Mexican American and Latina/o studies this spring.
His intellectual pursuits have reflected his interest in social movements, specifically in Chicana/o organizations that were engaged in educational reform in the 1970s, and their potential to influence current educational debates in the American Southwest.
Under a research grant, Cortez conducted comparative case studies between rural and urban societies within the context of education, politics, and relationships.
He also has worked as a research assistant for a postdoctoral fellow and served as editor-in-chief for an undergraduate research journal. With an eye on graduate school, he looks forward to adding to the discussion on the Mexican American and broader Latino experience.
"My involvement with this discipline has increased my respect for academia's possibilities," he says. "My aspiration is to mentor students of color while continuing to contribute to the ongoing and significant work that is being done. And I know I will enter the workforce much more informed about historical and contemporary issues concerning some of the fastest-growing populations in the U.S."

Newsletter N°2
Welcome from the Co-Chairs,
Dear EWoB members and friends,
As the Summer winds down and the days become shorter, we are looking forward to a hectic Autumn at EWoB, with a number of activities taking place in October.
After many months of hard work, we are ready to launch two new platforms which we hope will enhance the contribution EWoB makes to highlighting the existence of valuable "board ready" talent pool and to improving the efficiency of the "market" for board mandates at European level.
On 6th October we will be launching a first-of-its-kind online platform, the EWoB Knowledge Centre, which shares best practices, business models and resources to encourage gender diversity in the boardroom, for more innovation and competitiveness.
Drawing on a range of international and cross-sectoral contexts, the Knowledge Centre showcases practical advice, ideas, strategies, articles, studies and examples of best practice that can be used to develop and justify gender-diverse business models. It includes interviews with senior directors and business leaders – women and men – who have already embraced gender diversity on corporate boards, and who provide guidance, know-how and inspiration for others to do the same.
The Centre provides tips to women with board ambitions to make this a reality – from how to gain confidence, to building knowledge about competition, and taking part in coaching and networking programmes, such as those offered by EWoB members. Resources targeted at the wider public present up-to-date knowledge on the ongoing debate concerning how to increase the efficient participation of women on corporate boards.
The platform also features a checklist of the major arguments and best practices underpinning why and how companies should work to achieve gender diversity on their boards, and encourages businesspeople to connect with EWoB members for support and guidance in promoting women on boards.
The following month, on 25th October, we will be having a full day of activities as we mark the closing of year one of the EWoB Mentees' programme, followed by the launch of the EWoB Talent Pool and presentation of the EU project results. The Talent Pool is an online database of board-ready women from throughout Europe and from a range of sectors. Companies who are looking for a board member will be able to access this Talent Pool free of charge and for a limited period from its launch on 25 October. The day will be a combination of a closed event, for EWoB members only, and an event taking place in Brussels in the afternoon, which will be open for the attendance of interested stakeholders. More details will be available on our website over the coming weeks!
We hope you will enjoy reading this second edition of our newsletter, one which we hope will provide you interesting information not only about our work at EWoB but also the important work our members do at the national and international level.
With best regards,
Marie-Ange Andrieux and Cécile Coune
EWoB Co-Chairs
An introduction to our members
Following on from the introduction in our first newsletter to Belgium's Women on Board and France's AFECA, this month we would like to introduce to Finland's Board Professionals and Norway's Institute of Directors.
Board Professionals Finland (BPF) is a rapidly growing organisation, with over 140 members, representing high quality and successful women directors active at executive and top levels in different organisations and companies. BPF's aim is to promote diversity and advocate for highly professional and ethical board work, as well as to bring together professional, qualified women directors for networking, and to support the further development of women directors in Finland. Iris Karjula, EWoB Vice Co-chair, is the Chair of BPF and represents BPF on the EWoB Board of Directors. Further information, in Finnish, can be found at http://boardprofessionals.fi
The Norwegian Institute of Directors aims to improve companies' value creation through good corporate governance. The Institute provides members with arenas for the exchange of boardroom experience, and encourages the sharing of knowledge and new ideas about board work, i.e. in the form of best practice descriptions. Following the introduction of gender quota legislation in 2008, the boards of Norwegian listed companies maintain a minimum 40% of either gender, but the top management teams have a long way to go before both genders are equally represented. Turid Solvang, EWoB Vice Co-chair, is co-founder and Managing Director of the Norwegian Institute and represents the Institute on EWoB's Board of Directors. For further information about the Norwegian Institute of Directors, see: www.styreinstitutt.no
News from our members and partners
On 8th September, Belgium's Women on Board switched into a higher gear with a new governance empowering Women on Board's ambitions. At an event held at Belfius, and in the presence of more than 250 participants, the new ambition, supported by sharpened governance, was presented. The new Chair of Women on Board, Françoise Roels noted that "the presence of women in a board of directors leads to better results and stimulates the development of talent. Today, we are reinforcing our organisation to meet this exciting challenge". More information about the event, together with the press release issued to mark the occasion, can be found at here
On 29th September, EWoB member AFECA launched its Guide to Best Practices and the results of a benchmarking of the status of women in the accounting profession at European level, with participation of 24 professional institutions in 22 countries. The best practices guide and the benchmarking results are available in English on the AFECA website here. Both publications were launched at a meeting held during the 71st Congrès de l'Ordre des experts-comptables which took place in Brussels, Belgium, from 28 to 30 September 2016.
On 30th September, EWoB member FidAR published its new trend indicator which showed that more and more top managers favour the German quota system for women on supervisory boards. The Trend Indicator also showed that target figures for women in management positions are still lacking acceptance. To see the full press release issued by FidAR please visit here
The European Confederation of Directors Associations (ecoDa's Chair is Turid Solvang) is a partner once again of the next European Corporate Governance Conference. The conference, which will take place on 27th October in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, has for theme "Digitization and Transparency – transforming the future of corporate governance?" Further details can be found here.
BPF is organising a number of events in the Autumn, including, in October, "Good Corporate Governance" – a morning session with PwC, and "Experiences and Learnings as a Female Executive and Public Influencer" – with a presentation from a Member of the Parliament. In November BPF will have its annual conference, aimed at 300 board professionals and executives, which will focus on future trends and change and growth and, finally, the year will be brought to a close in December, with a "Christmas lunch" get-together for members.
EWoB Members: should you have any news that you would like us to include in our next newsletter (to be published on 15th November), please send an email to email@example.com by c.o.b. on 10th November.
In other News:
We were very interested to see a recent interview, carried out by viEUws, in which the Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality, Vera Jourová, argued that women on boards were 'a smart business decision'. If you have a few minutes, you might like to watch the interview at here. The aim of the interview was to discuss and assess the implementation of quotas as a means to bring more women on boards. The role of the European Commission, and the impact of the media and businesses as catalysts for change are also discussed.
Save the Date
|On 25th October 2016, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., in Brussels, EWoB will be hosting the event 'Realizing Europe's Potential with European Women on Boards' Talent Pool' to (1) present the results of the EWoB Network Project (co-funded by the Progress Programme of the European Union) and (2) launch the EWoB Talent Pool, our online database of board-ready women.

Belfast Harbour Commissioners
Autumn 2009
Everything was fabulous as usual, thank you so much!
Kind regards
What we did
We were commissioned to dress the stately Public Rooms of the Harbour Office by our client, Morrow Communications www.morrowcommunications.com We used a black and gold colour palette in keeping with the majestic Victorian decor and provided black damask chair covers with an antique gold satin sash tied in a knot for the Barnett Room. In the Moreland Room we arranged delicate gold oak leaf centrepieces onto tall Poseur tables draped with black cloths and tied in with antique gold tassel ties.

But an early autumn day finds Arahpot's usual tranquility shaken when a stranger is fatally stabbed.
Suddenly Sylvester is plunged into investigating two murders. As he works through an abundance of suspects, Tilghman finds himself in danger. And worse -- Lydia is pushing her obnoxious cousin as a candidate for deputy.

I was born and raised in Bowie Maryland with my parents and my brother. My parents, now retired, were hardworking middle class. They instilled in me the importance of honesty, trust, respect, ethics, and hard work.
I went to college at Frostburg State University in western Maryland. I also went to Hood College in Fredrick for my master's degree. I studied Computer Science which has taught me how to analyze problems and come up with long-term solutions. I am currently a Systems Analyst. As a Systems Analyst, I work on customer issues and find solutions which best fit their needs. I currently live in beautiful Montgomery County with my wife, Janis, and our dog, Wiki, and our cat, size_t.
In college for my undergrad I worked over the summers while living on and earning minimum wage. When I graduated I lived paycheck to paycheck and had to worry if I had enough money to pay rent and afford groceries. While working my full-time job, I attended graduate school. I have seen friends and family struggle with student debts. I have seen people start their careers and have to put off things like buying a house, getting married, and having kids. I've seen friends and family struggle to get by while working a full time job.
I am running for Maryland Delegate because I would like to think at this time we can do better. I would like to take the things I have learned and experienced and improve our great state so it can be better. I would like to take the experience I have with finding solutions for others and find the solutions to your needs and the needs of Marylander's.
I want to bring bold, progressive ideas that help the working class of our state.
Vote Brian for a better Maryland!

When finding a place to call home, we all have a wish list. Some people want a nice half bath for guests; some crave a big eat-in kitchen. And when it comes to decorating said house, those wish lists get even more specific. The options for home décor in terms of color schemes and aesthetics are almost limitless.
Sadly, even if you deck out your interior to your exact specifications, seeing the same old thing will eventually get old and you might crave a little change. Change, however, can get expensive! New furniture, new wall hangings, new rug? You're talking about a pretty hefty bill. Luckily, there are ways to make a few small and inexpensive changes that can pack a punch, like throw pillows.
If you go to any home décor store, you'll notice that there's no shortage of decorative pillows to choose from, with a plethora of colors and a myriad of patterns. The first question is how to choose. First of all, don't be afraid to mix and match different prints. A few bold prints that you love can be paired perfectly with more subtle or neutral pillows to tone things down a bit. Aside from prints and colors, texture can add a lot of bang for your buck. Details like embroidery and fringe against the smooth leather of a couch can create an interesting combination. Perhaps most important, though, is knowing your limits; too many pillows are almost worse than not enough. If you've got a large couch, three pillows are plenty! Rule of thumb? If you have to move them to sit, you've probably got too many.
Don't forget to SHARE this lovely DIY project with your family and friends!
